I stopped by Home Depot yesterday and as I perused the hardwood section, my heart skipped a beat when I saw dark mahogany of appropriate sizes for building cbg's. I settled down however when I tried to find a piece that was not bowed...some a little bowed, especially the 4' pieces, some with a double bow...8' pieces. Anyone ever have success straightening out some of these babies?

You may also find that if you look at the wood carefully, you can find a long enough section of it that isn't bowed, and you can cut that and use it. Depends on how much bow you are talking about.
Wayfinder is, as always, right. There's loads of stuff on youtube
It's several $ per foot. I was excited because it's a new item. Maybe I should stick to the red oak where I can always get a "straight" piece. Maybe future shipments will include straighter pieces of mahogany.
Thanks for the input.
Thanks. No hardwood sellers around central FL. Maybe I can find someone who builds/repairs wood boats or some decent mahogany.
Yup. That's what I would do.
Get it fixed onto the neck then sand the whole thing down with sandpaper fixed to a large flat surface.
I'll do that, thanks
Hey Phil, I ordered a mahogany 6 foot 1x2 from Home Depot earlier this year. It was right around $20 with shipping. The piece I got was near perfect. It's on my favorite, goto git.
That's hopeful. Perhaps I need to check some more Home Depots...maybe I'll find a straight piece. I think there's 3 in my county. Thanks
I ordered it online, and they delivered to my house.
Hmmm, I guess I can return it if it's crooked.
Yeah, I got a nice, straight piece. I wasn't to sure what to expect, but they sent me a good piece
